I believe it would be great to have this feature in the upcoming LTS release, as the problem affects more and more users in the future, especially with the 5 year support cycle. I think it's not a big deal for admins to disable it, while most plain users aren't aware of the problem nor have the knowledge to change the setting according to their needs, which is privacy and security. There should be at least a simple gui checkbox to let the user choose which state he wants.
